After a simple tour, everyone returned to the meeting hall. Shanhai Village had just been promoted to a level-2 village, so everyone had to know what to do next.
After everyone sat down, Ouyang Shuo went straight to the point and said, "With everyone's hard work, Shanhai Village has successfully been promoted to a level-2 village. Moreover, it is the sixth territory in China to be promoted. This achievement is the result of the hard work of all the villagers and the management of everyone present. It is worth celebrating. Therefore, I have decided to hold a big bonfire party tonight to celebrate. Ying You will be in charge of the party's preparations. "
Cui Yingyou nodded with a smile. "Big Brother, don't worry. Little sister will definitely make this bonfire party lively and bustling. Hehe, speaking of which, this is the first time our territory has held such an event. When the time comes, Big Brother, you must personally perform a performance to liven things up. "
As soon as Ying You finished speaking, Shi Wansui took the lead and cheered. Even Zhao Dexian, who was usually a steady man, had a ridiculing look on his face as he joined in the jeering.
Ouyang Shuo laughed bitterly. "You're tricking me, You're making a fool out of me. However, your idea is very good, and I strongly support it. In my opinion, it is better to have fun together than to have fun alone. Everyone present should prepare at least one performance. Only then will it be lively. "Hehe, who asked you to jeer. If I don't drag you all down with me, how can I live up to Sir Lord's reputation of being black-bellied?
Cui Yingyou covered her mouth and chuckled. Performing a performance was naturally no pressure for her. The expressions of the others were a little ugly and gloomy. This was called lifting a rock only to smash one's own foot.
After admiring Shi Wansui's excited face that suddenly turned bitter, Ouyang Shuo continued, "Back to the main topic. After the territory has been promoted, there are many things that need to be done. Here, I will make a general arrangement. If anyone has any suggestions or suggestions, you can bring them up later. "
"First, it is the work arrangements for the construction division. Although the private school, medical center, and other buildings cannot be built due to the lack of blueprints. However, the current task of the construction division is still very important. The primary mine and simple arrow towers that do not require blueprints must be built as soon as possible. The location of the mine must be discussed with the Supplies Division. Two simple arrow towers must be built on the two sides of the village entrance. In addition, the second phase's 15 small courtyards had to be built as soon as possible. The most important thing is to cooperate with the Salt Field Bureau to carry out the second phase of the Northern Twilight Salt Field's infrastructure construction. "
"The North Twilight Saltworks is the only industry in the territory and an important source of funds in the future. I decided to open up another four hundred mu in the second phase, bringing the total to five hundred mu. This required a lot of labor, and the Household Registration Office had to actively cooperate. At this stage, the spawned refugees will be prioritized and assigned to the salt works. The total number of salt workers must reach 250 in order to maintain the saturation operation of the salt works. "
"As for the Material Reserve Division, the number of people in the quarry and lumberyard remains the same. After the primary mining site was built, 20 people would be assigned to it. As for the fishermen, the number of people would gradually increase to thirty. This time, the Militia would be directly expanded to 50 people. The formal organization was to have ten people in a Fire, with a Squad Leader. Five Fires formed a team, with a Squad Leader. The rest of the laborers were all assigned to the Department of Agriculture. The Bureau of Land Reclamation would continue to open up farmland, eventually reaching a scale of two thousand mu. According to the above arrangements, the Household Registration Office should do a good job of personnel diversion and the corresponding household registration certificates. These are the recent work arrangements. If anyone has any questions, you can raise them now. "
The chief officers digested the information revealed by Ouyang Shuo while giving their opinions or suggestions on the areas they were in charge of.
Shi Wansui was the first to stand up. "My Lord, I have something to say. If the Militia is expanded to 50 people, we will have to appoint five Squad Leaders. How will the candidates be decided? "
Ouyang Shuo smiled. "You will recommend the Squad Leaders and report to me for approval. Try to promote the current veterans first, but don't promote them unconditionally just to take care of the feelings of the veterans. Everything was based on meritocracy. In addition, Zhang Daniu and Buttface, the two Squad Leaders, can be directly promoted to the position of Squad Leader. The position of Militia Captain will naturally be held by you, General. Now that the Northern Twilight Salt Field is on the right track, General can be free and focus on the training of the Militia. As for the safety and security of the salt field, Zhang Daniu and Buttface will each lead a Fire Militia and take turns to guard it. "
Shi Wansui grinned. He was obviously happy that he didn't need to be stationed at the salt field anymore. However, he wasn't a boorish man who was all brawn and no brains. From Ouyang Shuo's words, he had already heard a trace of strangeness. He asked directly, "My Lord, is there a deeper meaning to this large-scale expansion of the Militia?"
Ouyang Shuo nodded approvingly. "Not bad. The expansion of the Militia this time is to deal with all kinds of new security challenges. With the upgrade of the territory, the area of influence will be 25 times the original. The newly added territory needs to be thoroughly swept by the Militia to eliminate hidden dangers. More importantly, it is estimated that in half a month, there will be a wild beast riot in the wilderness. At that time, the territory will be attacked by a large number of wild beasts. Therefore, during this period of time, General must not only quickly train the Militia into shape. After you come down, you must also draft a detailed battle plan to defend against the wild beasts and submit it to me for review. "
Shi Wansui's face turned solemn. "Yes, I promise to complete the task!"
Then, Ying You stood up. "Big Brother, regarding the arrangement of the number of fishermen, I have a different opinion. We only have four fishing boats now, and each fishing boat can only carry two people. The shipyard can only build one fishing boat a day. Therefore, it will take at least 11 days for 30 fishermen to go out to sea to fish. According to my understanding, on average, a fisherman can harvest 50 units of fish in a day. With so many fish, it is impossible to finish them all. What is Big Brother's intention in making this arrangement? "
Ouyang Shuo understood Ying You's thoughts. One must know that fish cannot be used as a staple food, and it is not easy to store for a long time. Therefore, it cannot replace the role of food. Regarding this, he had his own plans.
"What You said is naturally the truth. But have you ever thought that if the fish is salted and dried, the dried fish is not a living thing. Moreover, it is easy to store and can be sold through the market. On the market, one unit of dried fish is 15 copper coins. On average, two units of live fish can be dried into one unit. And one unit of salt can be salted to 50 units of live fish. After deducting the cost of salt, a fisherman's day's harvest can create a profit of 355 copper coins for the territory. Before the first batch of salt is produced in the Northern Twilight Saltworks, the territory's construction funds will completely rely on fishing. As for the fishermen who don't have fishing boats, we can arrange for them to salt the fish. "
Cui Yingyou finally understood Ouyang Shuo's entire plan. She could not help but admire him greatly. She said sincerely, "Big Brother's plan is thorough. You are far behind me!"
Ouyang Shuo waved his hand. "You don't have to belittle yourself. I have been worrying about the territory's construction funds recently. I thought about it for a long time before coming up with this idea. "
Of course, this was not an idea that Ouyang Shuo came up with on the spot. He only said this to comfort her. When he chose to build the village in Lianzhou Basin, he had already considered the whole situation. As a feudal lord who established his territory by the sea, it would be a waste of such a geographical advantage if he could not make full use of the resources of the sea.
Salting and salting the dried fish were one of the methods he came up with to accumulate initial capital in the early stages. For this reason, he did not hesitate to spend a large sum of money to purchase the Seawater Salt Drying Technique Manual and the three special building blueprints.
This was the advantage of being reborn. While the representatives of the major forces were still painstakingly purchasing game coins with large sums of money, he had already displayed a complete industry to provide a steady stream of construction funds for the territory. This kind of advantage would become more obvious in the later stages.
His current industry had just started and the profits it generated were limited, but it was full of potential. Once the scale was expanded, the profits generated would naturally multiply several times.
The powerful feudal lords in his previous life had long formed a consensus that if they wanted their territory to be able to develop for a long time, they must establish their own industry. After all, it was less than a year before they could use credits to purchase game coins.
Finally, Zhao Dexian stood up and said, "Sir, I have a question. Sir has just arranged for the Department of Agriculture to open up another 1,500 mu of farmland. This is naturally not a problem. The question is, what crops should be planted in these 2,000 mu of farmland? Sir, do you have any plans? "
Ouyang Shuo decided to test him and asked in reply, "Let me ask you, Director Zhao. Given the climate conditions in Lianzhou Basin, what crops do you think are suitable to be planted?"
Zhao Dexian was born a farmer and had been dealing with farmland all his life. He was very clear about the sowing time of various crops. He said tentatively, "At this time, winter has not passed and spring has not arrived. It's not very suitable for planting crops."
Ouyang Shuo smiled mysteriously and said, "You're right. However, with the climate conditions in Lianzhou Basin, there is a crop that can be planted in winter, and that's potatoes. Although we've missed the best planting season in November, due to the influence of the sea monsoon, we still have the conditions to plant potatoes. If we start planting now, we can harvest them by April or May at the latest, completely solving the food shortage problem of the territory. "
Zhao Dexian was slightly stunned and said in shame, "This subordinate is ashamed. I didn't think of this crop." In fact, he couldn't be completely blamed for this. After all, the Zhao Family Ditch had always been hidden in the Shangri-La, and potatoes were rarely planted in the village.
Ouyang Shuo smiled faintly, "Therefore, these 2,000 mu of farmland must be planted with potatoes. Also, we must plant the seeds quickly and try to complete the sowing before the end of the month. As for the sprouts, I will buy them from the market. "
After answering Zhao Dexian's question, Ouyang Shuo announced the end of the meeting since no one else had any questions. After everyone had left, he prepared to go to the primary market to buy some things.
Ouyang Shuo only had 10 gold coins left, and he had to reserve 4 gold coins for the militia to change professions. He could only use 6 gold coins.
He first spent 1 gold coin to buy enough sprouts to plant 3,000 mu of potatoes. 3,000 mu of potatoes was the largest planting area in Ouyang Shuo's plan for the village level 1 potatoes.
Then, he spent 1 gold coin to buy 500 units of salt. This amount of salt was enough for the early stage, and the Northern Twilight Salt Field could produce salt by itself in the future.
With the remaining 4 gold coins, he decided to purchase 4000 units of rations. Adding on the 31,000 units of food and the fish caught by the fishermen, it was enough to support the territory until it was upgraded to a level 3 village.
Ouyang Shuo's pockets immediately became empty after the purchase. After arranging for people to store the purchased materials in the warehouse, he suddenly seemed to have nothing to do.
